    Interesting (I found it). Wish more info included. Seems research funding isn’t great for this disease (understatement). 

    Others interested go to gynecologiconcology-online - (DOT) -net/article/S0090-8258(15)30162-1/abstract

    I posted exact link without www and wrote in (DOT) so you can find it easier without exact link

    The other problem is that the procedure likely will be very expensive and not covered by insurance!  Probably considered cosmetic!

      I agree cause some women do it for cosmetic purposes but if there are good results with regeneration of tissues and the itching .... they did the research for LS patients also... so yeah if doc are not giving us the option it’s probably for a reason... I agree... it’s just so frustrating that they can’t just do something for us...,

    It is a new, controversial treatment being used in Italy and other European countries- not proven yet, not enough test cases, very expensive!
